US Army WW2 SHERMAN TANKER NAME STENCILED HBT TANK COVERALLS 42R Vtg Suit RARE
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:383436 |
US Army Sherman tankers of WW2 were issued the classic HBT coveralls, as the dank, dirty confines of the tank would quickly ruin a service uniform. Along with a stubby cigar and a perpetual scowl, the HBT coveralls quickly became part of the iconic image of the irreverent, irascible, and profane US tanker of WW2. This pair of US Army WW2 SHERMAN TANKER NAME STENCILED HBT TANK COVERALLS are in very good condition, with a few small spots of fraying at the front right thigh pocket, tw...o small tears in the upper right chest, missing the nomenclature tag from inside the thigh pockets, and with some scattered wrinkling, soiling, and age wear evident (ALL pictured). Otherwise, the coveralls are in fine shape, with no other damage to the crisp sage HBT 100% cotton construction. Most interestingly, they are a Size 42R, boast the name "TYLER" stenciled in black along the left chest, and are complete with all of the original 13 star "burst of glory" darkened metal buttons throughout. They feature a single exposed button flap closure pocket at the left chest and the right seat, flap covered thigh pockets, button cuffs, button ankle tabs, and the original, integral matching sage HBT waist belt with a fully intact darkened metal closure buckle, and are a fine example of rare, original US Army WW2 SHERMAN TANKER NAME STENCILED HBT TANK COVERALLS.
